The mantra of “I’m not enough” is just a tiny dinosaur made of bike gears (yes, this was a very weird photoshoot I modeled for lol).

It can only drag you around if you give it that power by repeating it. You’re the one holding the leash.

“The Yogic sages say that all the pain of a human life is caused by words, as is all the joy. We create words to define our experience and those words bring attendant emotions that jerk us around like dogs on a leash. We get seduced by our own mantras (I'm a failure... I'm lonely... I'm a failure... I'm lonely...) and we become monuments to them. To stop talking for a while, then, is to attempt to strip away the power of words, to stop choking ourselves with words, to liberate ourselves from our suffocating mantras.”

–Elizabeth Gilbert

This was the first and only time I have been truly star stuck by someone. In 2016 at the AIGA (The Professional Association for Design) Conference, I got to meet Graphic Designer and Partner at Pentagram, Paula Scher!

Her visual systems for Public Theater, Shake Shack and New York’s Highline (just a short list!) have been huge inspirations for diving into my passion for designing visual systems for brands and starting my own branding practice.

But beyond her incredible work, her encouragement of taking risks motivated me during my countless crisis of confidences and recover from crippling perfectionism that held me back from taking on work that I didn’t feel qualified to do.

Her words have also inspired me to advocate for the immense value of design and creativity in business and shift out of being paid hourly as a designer. Like she says: “it took me a few seconds to draw it, but it took me 34 years to learn how to draw it in a few seconds.”

Our value as creatives and designers goes far beyond just the time we spend on something. We need to value ALL the experience, especially the failures, we’ve had to learn how to design something efficiently and effectively. I’ve repeated this quote of hers countless times while I’m working: “It’s through mistakes that you can actually grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.”

When I met her, I could barely express how she’s inspired me. So thank you, Paula, for being an incredible influence! You’re an amazing woman and it was a honor to meet you briefly 6 years ago! (Time flies!)

Listen to this incredible conversation about taking risks and work that feels above your qualification level! [https://hurryslowly.co/025-paula-scher/](https://hurryslowly.co/025-paula-scher/)

Noise pollution blows 🤬 (pun totally intended 🙃)

When you’re outside, enjoying a beautiful morning meditating and then a leaf blower comes along and disrupts your peace, it can be so deeply frustrating!

Leaf blowers are my nemesis. No matter where I go in the world, they follow me. Just when I get peaceful, they start their engines.

But there’s a reason for the disruption- it’s a wonderful metaphor for how online feels to me!

The internet is NOISY AF. Scrolling through Instagram or Facebook feels like a HUGE leaf blower running.

Being a business owner posting on social media feels like you’re trying to talk to people over the noise, when you’re both just distracted.

What’s the solution?

Cancel out the noise by going inside; Inside *yourself* - put on noise cancelling headphones and listen to yourself.

“listen closely to yourself, your internal radar.” -Robert Greene

When you can listen to yourself and stop listening to all the leaf blower noise of the outside world, then you will find the clarity that will cut through the noise and connect with people.

It can be helpful to learn from others and see what they’re doing and how they’re doing it, but don’t let the noise overwhelm you and fall into shiny object syndrome, buying every new tool, tactic and technology that’s advertised to you.

Get really good at listening to your own intuition and let that help you decide what to take inside with you and then use outside in your life.

Getting in tune with yourself is the more effective way to cancel out all the noise, actually connect with people, shave time off of getting your business going, and feel more peace, pleasure and play in life 😉

“The key to transforming ourselves, is actually insanely simple: to reverse the perspective. Stop fixating on what other people are saying and doing; on the money, the connections, the outward appearance of things. Instead, look inward. Focus on the smaller, internal changes that lay the groundwork for a much larger change in fortune.

It is the difference between grasping at an illusion and immersing yourself in reality. And reality is what will liberate and transform you.”
